QoSMOS

Welcome to the website of QoSMOS (Quality of Service and MObility driven cognitive radio Systems).

QoSMOS is a Framework 7 Integrating Project from call 4. The project began on 1st January 2010 and will run for 36 months. Co-ordinated by British Telecommunications plc in the UK, it has 14 partners from across Europe and one from Japan. The primary objective of QoSMOS is to develop a framework for Cognitive Radio systems and to develop and prove critical technologies using a test-bed. Involvement in standards bodies and industrial forums is emphasised from the start, to increase the probability of adoption of QoSMOS results into standardised products. The initial focus is on opportunistic use of radio spectrum, with an early example being TV White Spaces. The project has an External Advisory Board consisting mainly of regulators and broadcasters, to help steer the project and also to provide paths for exploitation of project results.
